📋 Description

• Lead client engagements end-to-end, from kickoff through delivery and closeout, using agile, scrum, or hybrid methodologies as the engagement requires • Develop detailed project plans including scope, timelines, resources, and budget estimates aligned to SOW deliverables • Manage scope against the SOW: negotiate discrepancies with clients, drive prioritization decisions, and handle change orders cleanly • Drive project schedule and scope while protecting engagement economics and avoiding budget overruns • Own the internal logistics of running an engagement: budget tracking, forecasting, time tracking inputs, invoicing coordination, and resource alignment with delivery leadership • Maintain PM compliance and reporting responsibilities: engagement health updates, weekly status reports, sprint reviews, and risk and issue management • Properly identify and differentiate risks from issues, and know when to escalate within the engagement and within NextLink • Facilitate backlog creation, ensuring tickets have clear definitions, acceptance criteria, and estimates, and manage delivery flow through Jira reports and team rituals • Build and maintain client trust through reliable delivery and consistent communication; facilitate proactive, sometimes tough, client conversations • Deliver against client business outcomes, not just the letter of the SOW, and collaborate with Delivery and Sales to surface expansion opportunities • Observe project teams and provide timely feedback focused on client value • Contribute to the broader NextLink PM practice through process improvements, templates, and cross-functional initiatives
